Isaiah Morris is a London based, Australian born, multimedia artist, curator, and researcher.
The experience of aisthesis, the imagination’s formation, and how these change our perception of the Self, the World, and God, occupies much of his thought. He pursues this in three modalities: Image, People, and Word. (And when not, he’s probably making Creme Brûlée.)
He’s shown projection and light-based installations across Australia, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom, often in public & non-traditional spaces. His concern is with how these environments affect the viewer's perception of what is real and not, blurring the lines between tangible and ethereal. Often, he collaborates with global streetwear brands, artists, music festivals, and not-for-profits, for audiences of 100 to 50,000+ people. He’s curated over 40 music events to support emerging artists (mainly via New Kids) and in 2017 he founded the No Vacancy Window to create exhibiting opportunities for video and motion artists.
Isaiah holds a Master’s in Christianity and the Arts (with Distinction) from King’s College, London and the National Gallery. He is an Emerging Leader at the Centre for Cultural Witness and a Bill Snelson Young Ecumenist.
Currently, his research concerns New Media Art’s theological aesthetics, Australian Pentecostalism, and the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar (of which his dissertation on Balthasar won the Relton Prize for Christian Doctrine).
